Yes, that's what I just said. At least on this wiki, the type advantages come from the physiology of the Pokemon. They are weak to the types they are weak against, but there's no basis to say that their attacks are 2x effective against things not even from their canon. It only takes a little thought to realize that if they're both 2x weak to, and do 2x damage to other pokemon based on type, then they'd always do 4x damage on a good type matchup, but they don't.Pokemon often get affected by elemental stuff from other shows, taking twice the amount of damage that'd cause normally.
The only bonus they get on attacking is STAB, which is 1.5x.
